What reviewers say about the Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless
Four whitelisted testers (SoundGuys, Engadget, Tom's Guide, What Hi-Fi) rate the Momentum 4 Wireless a top-value ANC over-ear: class-leading battery life and refined, neutral sound draw praise, though ANC trails Bose/Sony flagships and the restyle looks generic. SoundGuys lab-measured 56h21m of playback with ANC on; Engadget clocked 57h at ~75% volume. All four quotes and both measured battery figures were confirmed verbatim in the fetched pages.

Where reviewers disagree Consensus that ANC sits just behind Bose/Sony; the split is on design taste — Engadget, Tom's Guide and What Hi-Fi lament the plainer look, while What Hi-Fi concedes some buyers may like its low-key discretion and SoundGuys actually praises the 'simple, elegant design'. Measured battery (56h21m SoundGuys, 57h Engadget) both fell short of Sennheiser's 60h claim yet still roughly doubled ~30h rivals.

Battery life (ANC on, continuous playback peaking at 75 dB SPL): 56 h 21 min · High-pitched noise reduction: ~75-95% · Low-pitched noise reduction (ANC): ~75%
The headphones last 56 hours and 21 minutes (with ANC on)—an exceptionally good result!
its sound quality is ahead of the pack—as is its battery life.
However, it does seem to have some issues with noise rejection.
Battery life (ANC on, ~75% volume): 57 hours
It's no surprise, then, that the audio profile on Momentum 4 is stellar.
I managed 57 hours of ANC use.
Bose and Sony are still better at blocking unwanted clamor overall
Great sound and industry-leading battery life mean the Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless should be on any ANC headphone shortlist.
the Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless has the longest battery life of any pair of noise-cancelling headphones we've ever encountered.
Only the slightly buggy connectivity with the Smart Control app lets these headphones down, which often doesn't feel nearly as smart as the name suggests.
They are certainly one of the best-performing ANC over-ears at their price today.
highs are well-honed, mids are pleasingly plump, and lows strike a good balance between being taut and tubby.
We are disappointed to see the classy design of Momentums of old giving way to one that's markedly more non-descript
